Glad you came out ok.
How old is your stunt car driving mate??
Has he learnt anything from the accident such as entry speeds into bends, truck avoidence at speed, etc that will stand him in good stead during his stunt driving career? ;)
Why don't you do yourself a favour and buy a good manual disco heaps nicer to drive ...but then I cant stand Auto bang boxes.
B is buying A's car, & C is looking at B's car tomorrow! With any luck you may be getting a call from C. :DQuote:

Will let C know tomorrow.
Nice to meet you C.

Yep, I reckon he's learnt a lot. Esp not to do vigorous wheel turning at speed in a high centre of gravity car.
Used to love manuals & think I'd only ever buy manual, but my wife is an auto only girl, and I've discovered an auto box leaves a hand free to....
a) reach behind the seat to pick up whatever my boy dropped so he'll stop shouting
b) reach back with a bottle of milk or dummy to stop my youngest screaming
c) hold my wife's hand while driving - which is nice
The only flaw to the above is the indicator stalk is on the left.
Good to see the pair of you escaped serious injury.
Something about D2s and L platers.Bloke at work also had a roll in a D2 with his L plate son at the wheel.Had 6 months off as it scalped him,the son ony got a sore arm.Has put him off driving since!!!

Dont you mean 7 seat? I dont think I have ever seen a 7 door disco. Well if you count the bonnet and the fuel cap then I suppose you could say its a 7 door. Hell with the glove box and the centre console it could be a 9 door :DQuote:

Yes market value means price you would pay to replace the vehicle if buying from a yard.
Baz.
Market value is what the insurance company says a vehicle of that age and Km's is worth isnt it? Dealers often ask prices which are alot higher than what an insurance company says its worth.Quote:

You're very lucky boys...which is great. Shame about the car though.
Cheers.
